A Paradise for Old Folks.

Utah is said to be perfect paradise
for old people and in this respect it
is far superior to older and perhaps
better civilized and more moral states.
The late Edward Hunter who was the
presiding bishop of the Mormon
church from 1850 to 1883 conceived
the plan of giving every
man and woman over 20 years of ace
in the neighborhood of Salt Lake an
outing every year and"old folks day"
was thus instituted. In a recent is
sue of the Globe-Democrat a CORES
pondent tells now the old folks were
assembled together and given an ex-
cursion to Ogden and what a grand
time they had with music, addresses,
etc. Among the list of names is that
of Mrs Evaline Fisher, who is what
is termed "Smith Mormon" not
a Brigham Young" Mormon, but
who all her life has been a woman of
remarkable intelligence, and who,
although SO years of age. retains her
faculties intact. Mrs. Fisher is a
sister of Mrs. E. Dugan, of this city,
and the account was read with consid-
cradle interest, more especially as
Mrs. Dugan herself, although nearing
four-score years, is possessed of health,
and q clearness of mental
faculties which entities her also to the
name of remarkable.

First Premium at Bismarck.

N. III. Gentry, the berkshire king
of Pettis county, returned from Bis
marck, Kan, yesterday, where he at
tended the fair and exhibited his hogs.
He took eight of the best premiums
given and is quite elated at his sue
cess. He had some of the best herds
in the country to compete against
him, and of course has right to feel
very proud of his success. He has
shipped his hogs to Lincoln, Neb.,
and will leave for that point Monday
where he exhibits at the Nebraska
State Fair this week, and where the
BAzoo predicts for him success. Pettis
county rarely takes second rank in
anything.

About $50 o'clock Friday night q
fire broke out in the dye house at No.
518 East Third street, the property Of
Con McHugh, while he and his wife
were away from home. The origin
of tide fire is not known but is suppos'
ed to have originated from a coal oil

on the table. Mr.. McHugh was at

fire until the lodge was dismissed.
His wife was st q neighbor's

BERRY HARRIS CASE.
Before Justice Blair To-Day for
Disturbing Religious
Meeting.

About one month ago the Olive
Branch Baptist church, near Beamen
during a series ofmeetings was disturb
ed by Berry Harris and one Payne,
who became involved In a difficulty
and ,,flourished weapons of destruct-
ion to the disturbance of all the wor.
shippers. Payne was arrested and
tried before Justice Blair about three
weeks ago and fined So and costs
amounting to about $15, which he
paid. At the same time Harris was
arrested also, but had his case contin.
ued until to-day. W. d. Steel ap.
peared for the defendant and
the case was one of interest. The ties.
timony showed that Harris was as.
saulted by Payne and tried to evade
him, but Payne followed him and was
bent on having a fight, that Harris
mounted his horse and rode away.
Payne skipped the country and was
not heard from for some time, until
he showed up one morning, and was
arrested, and was brought to this city
to answer to Justice Blair.
As was predicted in the case ofthe
State against Berry Harris before
Justice Blair, charged with disturbing
the Olive Branch Baptist church
meeting, some time ago, the jury re-
turned a verdict, Friday afternoon, of
"not guilty." which met with the ap-
proval of all familiar with the case.
The examination showed conclusively
that the defendant was attacked by
Payne. who was seeking a fight, by
means fair or foul, and that after the
ARRAY he left the county to escape JUS
tice, but was caught and punished.

BLAZE LAST NIGHT.
The Grand Opening Of Frank
and Henry Lorsbach's Sa-
loon Disturbed
by Fire.

Shortly before 9 o'clock last night,
blaze was discovered on the roof of
the st. Nicholas saloon building on
Second, street. Improperly of U. F.
Short, of Dallas, Texas. The place
has lately been purchased, by Frank
and Henry Loerbach, and last
night was the occasion
of grand opening, by the
new proprietors, which was suddenly
brought to a close by the fire alarm
sounding, and the rafting of the de-
partment on the way to the scene of
the confsgration. At first it looked as
though the whole block might go, as
there were strong chances for Woods
opera ::house catching fire, also
the building on the west; but
owing to the timely arrival
of the department, and their efficient
work, the flames were soon gotten
under control, and but little damage
sustained, to the building. 1t was
frequently limited, that the
fire was the work of an incendiary,
while another solution was, that the
fire started in the rooms
above the saloon, but this
idea looses foundation, when it is
known, that there had been no
fire in any part of the building, dur
ing the day. The loss is fully cover
ed by insurance, in Espenscheid's
agency.

AN UNWRITTEN PAGE.
Torn from the Records During
Bellum Days.

During the days of the rebellion,
when the confederacy and the union
were about evenly balanced in the
scale of fate, a handsome little steam.
boat known as the 'Minnie Stephens, .
named in honor Of the daughter OF
the late Captain Joe L. Stephens, OF
Boonville, became the property of the
United States government, and was
sent south to navigate the bayOus and
rivers. 1t was purchased and sent
there, because of its adaptability to
float in the shallow water, of the many
inland streams, for which that country
is noted.
On the boat, when it left Boonville,
over the piano, in the cabin, there
hung fine painting of the beautiful
child the steamer was named for,
painted by distinguished artist of
New 7 ork at great expense. By an over
sight, when the steamer was sold and
foated away, the painting was left
hanging in its place, ostensibly as
part of the boats furniture. Captain
and Mrs. Stephens were both greatly
grieved at this oversight and never
expected to lay eyes upon the painting
again. But fate ordained otherwise.
This was in 1852. About one year
later, a box was received at the Steph-
ems home in Boonville, unbidden and
unexpected. Hastily it was opened,
when it was found to contain the sup
posed lost treasure, the veritable paint
ing of Minnie Stephens-the one which
hung in the cabin of the boat when
she steamed from the Boonville levee,
and the one which was so highly priced
by the family.
With the picture was q polite note
from General N. P. Banks. dated at
New Orleans, saying that the "Min-
ME Stephens" was just starting up the
Red River on a cruise, in the enc
my's country, and as it was one of
great peril, so far as the boats safety
was concerned, he had learned to whom
the portrait belonged, and took great
pleasure in returning the same, for fear
that it might be destroyed. 1t was
well that General Banks took this
timely precaution, for the boat was
shot all to pieces, and now lies buried
in the sand at the bottom of that
treacherous stream, all done while it
was on that tragic expedition.
Since that, Miss Minnie Stephens
grew to be young lady, and one of
the bellies of Boonville and central
more beautiful, if possible,
than the painting of her when child,
which hung in the boats cabin. She
was wooed and won by a young
stalwart farmer of Saline county, Capt. |
Abiel Leonard, and for several years
has been the mistress of his pzlatial
home near Mt. Leonard.
And the painting. representing a
child one and one-half years old play
ing on a grassy mound, with the
Missouri river and the boat in the
background, now hangs "over the |
piano" ip Captain Leonard's home, the
pride of all the household, and to-day
can be pointed at by her children,
as the representation of their devoted
mother when In mere infancy.

An Inquiry.
HARRISBURG. Pa, Sept. s, 1887.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Sept. s, 1887.
Editor Sedalia Basoo:
SIR, quite number of knight OF
labor in this city are out of employ.
nent and would be willing to 60 west
if they could be assured of lucrative
jobs. Can you refer us to any insti-
tuition in your city or vicinity that
would be likely to give us work. An
early reply would much oblige large
number of the boys.
Yours truly,
A. S. BEERDEN, K of p.
The Missouri Pacific railroad, which
runs here, refuses 10 employ any
member of the knights of labor, ow-
ing to that order having caused an
unprsvoked strike on the road in
1886. Since that time the people
here are very cautious about employ
ing them, owing to their disposition
to make trouble and create dissension
and discord between employe and en-
ployer-hence but very few are given
places.
In two places in Sedalia they are
received with open arms and given
employment, almost to the exclusion
of other help-that is, in the Sedalis
Democrat printing Office and the Sc
dalia postofice, Sedalia gives en-
ployment to many labOring.. people, and
any of this class who can come here
without being bound up in iron clad
oaths, can not only get employment
but renumerative wages for good and
faithful service rendered. To snch the
BAzoo extends q welcome and trusts
that the inquirer from Harrisburg, al
30 the "boys," will find it to their in
terest, Is well as profit, to accept and
come to Sedalia.
